Are the png./gif. links possible on iOS? What I’ve seen so far shows that iOS is very limited in what it can do as far as putting pictures/text in the images for a post. Does this handicap apply to descriptions too?
@SomberlySober, yes, you could do that, but i found a huge difference in landscape programming and craft programming. That’s why one can’t divert any asteroids now, even with a huge engine. I can see the same problem plaguing the randomly generated comets, making it impossible for them to be deflected. Goodbye Droo!
I’ve always loved that idea, however, the amount of challenging programming it took to make the game as it is was massive. Multiply that complexity by 10 and you get rogue comets.
@AstrumY, okay, I guess. The only landers I’ve seen for the Artemis crewed program are Starship HLS and Blue Moon(Blue Origin). You could pursue a contract for that program, but a lander delivering 5-10 tons would likely not be under a CLPS contract. Also, what will the lander be called, and will you give each lander(mission respective) a nickname?
@AstrumY, @VectronTechnologies, due to good weather at the launch site, the Aurora Mission1 launch date has been moved up. The date is not solid yet, but check back here for launch readiness!
Dear @VectronTechnologies,
After careful consideration of the SRB designs for the Aurora launch vehicle, we have decided to proceed with developing an in-house SRB solution. As such, we will not be moving forward with the SRB offerings from Vectron Technologies or Astrum Y at this time.
I would like to sincerely thank both teams for their time and effort in contributing to the Aurora program. While we will be pursuing a different path for the SRB, we are excited to continue working with you as valued sponsors of the Aurora program and look forward to future collaboration opportunities. As @VectronTechnologies has put a lot of effort and time into the SRBs, they will still be featured as a sponsor on the Aurora post.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Due to a SRB integration anomaly, the launch date will be pushed back to NET February 4, 2025. Currently we are looking for a new SRB subcontractor to replace the anomalous ones, and if you have a proposal, go to Aurora-Needs-SRBs(on my account) to submit a design.
Hyperion Heavy lifted off the pad at 12:03 UTC. 97 minutes later, the Small Space Station was successfully inserted into the specified orbit around Droo. Than you @Darthan184 for your payload submission and support of the Hyperion Heavy program.
Launch is slated for 11:03 AM UTC on January 19th. Payload and launch vehicle will be integrated and rolled out tonight. Check back here close to 11:00 to see the progress or outcome of the launch. Will give updates as vehicle passes certain points in preparation or flight. Wish us luck!
@Darthan184, thanks for the submission. Looks like this should fit the request. However, I wouldn’t advise launching a space station on a rocket’s first test flight(just saying).
@OACOTEOC, awesome! No need for compensation to to the flight being a test. What are the dimensions for the vehicle?

+1 one month agoCool!
8 days agoThere are more payload slots available! Submissions end May 20.
11 days ago@OACOTEOC, okay, will do! Likely will launch multiple payloads on Eagle Heavy due to size margin.
11 days agoMaybe a rover of some sorts?
22 days agoPayload submission ends in 20 minutes!
29 days ago@QuantumSpaceJNO, cubeys?
one month agoHurry! Phoenix OT-1 launches NET April 1!

one month agoConsider that the JWST’s primary mirror is 6.5m in diameter, and China’s new telescope concept is 10m in diameter.
one month ago@AxiomTechnologies1, I do not, why?
one month agoYes?
one month agoNotice: will not use the names Zeus, Athena, or Odysseus
one month ago@PeriodicAerospace, what theme/genre would these names be from?
one month ago@SomberlySober, yes, you could do that, but i found a huge difference in landscape programming and craft programming.

one month agoCool!
one month agoTag it on to another mission to brigo as a rideshare. That’s how I do it.

one month agoOh
one month agoOh. I thought you were talking about cargo in terms of tons(5-10 tons). That makes a lot more sense now if it’s crewed and inflatable.
one month agoInflatable? Interesting. So it’s still cargo though, where does it go?
one month agoAlso, we have plans for a private space station in the future, an inflatable module(s) would make for a large volume.
2 months ago@AstrumY, National Team’s lander is the Blue Moon lander. And my lander will be competing for the CLPS contracts.
2 months agoAlso, the IST looks cool,

2 months agoAlso, what’s SN7 and Capsule?
2 months ago@AstrumY, that’s still a lot for a CLPS-contract lander. They’re usually in the range of 100-300kg. Are you launching entire lunar bases?
2 months ago@AstrumY, TONS?!
2 months agoI’ll be competing for those CLPS contacts. Phoenix Luna is our next project.
2 months agoOrion Aerospace would like to congratulate the @AstrumY team for their spectacular launch and hard work in the program.
2 months agoWait, so the first Quantum Booster Flight occurred?
2 months agoTo add to this, Orion Technologies will modify its name, switching to Orion Aerospace, emphasizing its role in innovative launch vehicles.
2 months ago@VectronTechnologies, okay, figured it out. Should be available on my profile.
2 months ago@VectronTechnologies, I am not really sure how to upload something like that.
2 months ago@VectronTechnologies, sandbox as is solar system, because i just used the default for that.
2 months agoLaunch date confirmed, January 30th, at NET 10:35 pm. Time is subject to change, but check back here regularly for updates.
3 months ago01/28/25, Name/Leadership change is official now! We are know to be known as Orion Technologies, a company oriented towards the cosmos.

@VectronTechnologies, thanks! Cost is not important, and I’ll integrate it he boosters to Aurora and see how they look.
3 months ago@AstrumY, ya 4 segment shuttle SRBs, but with the Artemis Booster paint job. And I may have meant 120ft, not meters.
3 months ago@AstrumY, you guys can compete. Puts a little more “hurry up” into it. And there’s no deadline for the Taiyang Shen.
3 months agoYes, and it would make integration much easier if the command chip/pod was easy to get to.
3 months ago@VectronTechnologies, Height ~120m. No inter-stages required, these are side boosters. Try to use a Phoenix engine for the booster, for max thrust.
